Create a Pre-Task Plan for today's crew and task
Most US general contractors require a Pre-Task Plan signed by every crew member before work starts each day. Riskora structures the PTP — job steps, hazards, controls, PPE, permits and crew sign-on — for the foreman. 100+ industries supported.

What Riskora builds into every PTP
Job-specific hazards
Hazards drawn from the task, the site and the scope you describe — not a stock list.
Hierarchy of controls
Elimination first, PPE last. Initial and residual risk shown side by side.
Step-by-step method
Sequenced steps with a person responsible for each, written for this PTP.
PPE & equipment
Task-specific PPE, plant and inspection requirements.
Emergency arrangements
First aid, fire, spill and rescue arrangements specific to the work.
Chemicals & substances
Substance prompts appear when materials in scope need a hazardous-substance assessment.
Permits & hold points
Hot work, working at height, confined space and inspection hold points where they apply.
Briefing & sign-off
Pre-start briefing register, version lock and an audit-ready workflow.
Foreman-ready PTP PDF
Branded, paginated PDF you can issue without reformatting.
A PTP, not a UK RAMS with the spelling changed
US-native terms — PTP, JHA/JSA, AHA, foreman, competent person, assembly point. Hazards per step. Crew sign-on at the bottom. PPE listed against the right ANSI/OSHA call-outs.
Riskora isn't a blank template or a generic AI text generator
Riskora asks for your job and site context, then structures a client-ready, site-specific JHA: hazards, controls, method steps, PPE, emergency arrangements and sign-off — not a paragraph of AI prose. You stay in control of every section and the output is built for an audit-ready workflow.
What your JHA actually contains
Riskora builds a structured, client-facing document — not a generic AI paragraph. Every section is shaped around your job, your site and your team.
Hazards
Task-specific hazards for the job, captured row by row — not a generic list pulled from an old JHA.
Controls
Control measures mapped to each hazard with residual risk scoring after controls are applied.
PPE
PPE requirements tied to the activity and site, ready to brief to the team.
Method steps
Step-by-step method statement structured around how the work is actually sequenced on site.
Emergency arrangements
First aid, rescue plan, emergency contacts and site-specific escalation routes.
COSHH prompts
Substance prompts when the work involves chemicals, dusts, fumes or sealants — flagged early, not missed at review.
Sign-off
Operative sign-off captured against the document — names, dates and acknowledgement of the brief.
Version history
Every change tracked so you can show what was issued, when, and which version the team signed.
Approval status
Clear approval state on every document — draft, in review, approved, issued — visible across the team.
Audit trail
Who created it, who reviewed it, who signed it. A complete trail you can hand to a principal contractor or auditor.
From copied-and-pasted to site-specific
The reason JHA get rejected is rarely the format — it's that the document is obviously generic. Riskora rebuilds it around this job, this site and this task.
Generic template copied from an old job.
- • Hazards and controls that don't match this site or task.
- • Method steps written for a different sequence of work.
- • No emergency arrangements specific to the location.
- • Client flags it as generic and asks for a rewrite.
Site-specific document structured around this job, site and task.
- • Hazards captured from the actual scope you pasted in.
- • Method steps sequenced for how the work runs on site.
- • Emergency arrangements and rescue plan tied to the location.
- • Approved internally, briefed to the team, signed off and stored.
